Key Title |
Hotta Studio operates as a subsidiary under Perfect World Games. This structure means Perfect World provides the resources, infrastructure, and publishing support while Hotta Studio handles the creative and technical development work. The arrangement has produced two major titles so far: Tower of Fantasy (2022) and Neverness to Everness.
Perfect World's publishing experience across international markets helps ensure that NTE reaches players in multiple regions with localized content, marketing, and community support. Global launches require coordination across time zones, languages, and platform certification processes, all of which fall under the publisher's responsibilities.
Perfect World Games publishes Neverness to Everness globally. The game's Chinese title is 异环 (Yi Huan, meaning "Strange Ring"), reflecting the anomaly-themed narrative. The publishing strategy involves a staggered launch: China on April 23, 2026, followed by the global release on April 29, 2026.
This staggered approach allows the publisher to manage server infrastructure and address early feedback from the Chinese launch before rolling out to the rest of the world. It also provides a brief window for last-minute adjustments based on live player data.
Neverness to Everness is designed as a free-to-play title available across multiple platforms. Perfect World's distribution network ensures the game is accessible in major markets worldwide. The publisher handles platform partnerships, storefront listings, and regional pricing, while Hotta Studio delivers content updates and patches.
The free-to-play model with gacha monetization follows the proven approach used in Tower of Fantasy. Perfect World's experience managing the business side of live-service games gives NTE a stable foundation for ongoing operations after launch.
